A Healing Poem about Loss and Holding on to Love

This is a heartfelt poem about loss, one that asks questions and fights against the unknown yet gradually softens into the understanding that perhaps we just need to look for answers in a different way. Maybe if we look with the heart instead of our eyes, we’ll find a better way.

“Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy.” – Inuit saying

I do not believe we ever completely heal the wounds of losing someone we love. We will always have the scars that speak of unspeakable pain and heartache. I, for one, would rather keep my scars and look to them with love, because that’s where they came from.

Energy may transform, and we have been transformed. It’s because of this truth that we can transform this grief into a mending of the heart.

I hope this poem about loss offers you even an ounce of comfort, because you are not alone in your grief and there is more healing for you. I hope you feel inspired today to hold onto the love, not the loss.

You don’t need to stay strong and hold it all together. You’re just asked not to give up on love. Keep going back to love—go back, go back.

You might find your answers in the still and quiet room of the heart, or in the wind that blows softly on your skin, or in the small moments where you’re able to smile again.
